My stay at The Maxwell Inn was absolutely wonderful! The location is perfect for accessing Rocky Mountain National Park while being just a short stroll to downtown Estes Park. The rooms were spotlessly clean and cozy, truly providing a home-like feel. Although the breakfast options were decent, I think they could be improved. On the downside, the air conditioning in one room wasn’t working to its full capacity, but the owners addressed it promptly. Overall, it was a fantastic value for a memorable getaway.

The hotel is perfectly situated just a short walk from downtown Estes Park and conveniently close to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed, making for a pleasant stay. While the breakfast could use some improvement with more variety, the overall experience was enjoyable, and the value for the price was reasonable.
